1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

To support ambient assisted living for the elderly living alone, we investigate a method for recognizing daily activities from household sounds. To reduce the cost of building an activity-recognition model, we adopt an unsupervised learning approach based on a Dirichlet multinomial mixture model. The model represents the generative process of neural audio codec codes conditioned on latent activities. We further extend the model to handle multiple streams of codes corresponding to different sound directions. This extension enables the formation of more accurate activity clusters, partly because code occurrence patterns exhibit burstiness. The proposed approach is expected to serve as a key component for constructing an activity recognition system that requires minimal labeled data and a small number of user inquiries.
